I was caught outside during a storm one day (with my MacBook Pro inside). Worried as hell, I sprinted inside to check the damage, and to my surprise, everything was still perfectly dry! I didn't realize that this backpack was waterproof until then and I'm glad it is! Thanks, Herschel Supply Co. for saving the day.

I love the pocket on the top, too. I know it's supposed to be for a phone, but I use it for my pens & pencils and it's awesome cause it makes them easily accessible when I'm sitting at my desk.

The backpack also feels really sturdy/well-built. Definitely a good value.

As far as capacity goes, I currently have the following in my backpack:– 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and charger– (2) full 1" binders– a Five Star single-subject spiral notebook– a planner (thin notebook sized)– a full 2-pocket folder– psychology textbook, 3.8 lbs, 1.2" x 9" x 11"– english textbook, 2.4 lbs, 1.1" x 7.4" x 9.1"– TI-Nspire, and cable– some food– other misc cables– a handful of pens & pencils

I've owned other Herschel products and like their quality and design, so I was confident in buying this backpack.Here are the Pros: Great looking, love the color (medium blue, with leather bottom and white front zipper), design, front logo patch, interior red/white striping, lightweight, stylish, a fair number of pockets, fairly roomy for my needs (daily train commute), laptop/other use compartmentHere are the Cons: No exterior water bottle holder (although I knew this before buying), not enough pockets, a bit smaller than I expected and lastly, those zippers! They are cheaply made, not rugged enough and very difficult to open and close. They are tedious, they snag easily and can get frustrating to deal with. That and the smaller than expected size are my reasons for returning this otherwise good backpack. My hunt continues. Do not buy this one unless you like struggling with opening and closing it (bad zippers!).

I purchased a Herschel bag in an effort to support a startup from Brooklyn (a city I lived in for three years and loved dearly). Unfortunately, within eight months, the bottom pocket zipper became loose from the stitching and eventually broke. I emailed Herschel with pictures and they said they would replace the bag after I cut off the straps to ensure "a bad version of the product isn't in circulation.' I hesitated, thinking "what a waste of a good bag." But now, fall is coming and I seriously need that pocket to close because of impending rain and snow. When I reached out to them again for replacement, they have taken 6+ days to respond and now they're not following up at all. So basically I spent $60 on a bag that didn't even last a year. Makes me miss the days of Eastpak and Jansport and their actual follow through warranties.

I would so much rather support a company from the US making solid products, but unfortunately due to their lack of interest in replacing my product. I'm writing this review to everyone: I know Herschel is hip, but hip don't mean a thing if it isn't functional.

Not 100% sure whether this product is a real Hershel Supply Co product, it's definitely the same price though, I should have ordered from the actual Herschel site. Anyway, I received this product and immediately realized the material felt odd, zippers were hard to open and close, took some force. I feel as though a backpack should open and close smoothly and hassle free. However, I thought maybe I have to break it in, only to realize that the stitching of the Herschel logo was upside down. I couldn't believe this, I knew right then and there that this had to be a fake and sent back immediately. This isn't the first time I saw this problem happen, but I thought maybe that was a once time mistake, apparently not. I would highly suggest that if you want a Herschel backpack, buy one from their website.

I bought this backpack to take on business travel. It may sound odd, but as a woman I don't like carrying a separate purse and laptop bag. It's twice the hassle at security and just makes my shoulders feel tired since they generally all just have one handle. I really wanted to try out a backpack. My requirements were that it be light, reasonably stylish, have a padded sleeve for my laptop, and be able to function as a purse. This backpack has 100% fit the bill. The laptop sleeve fits my 15' Dell perfectly. I should note that the sleeve is not TSA approved, so in some (but not all) airports you'll still have to take your laptop out of the backpack to get through security. I love all of the pockets, and the main compartment easily fit all of my computer accessories, two books, my jacket, snacks, and a spare pare of flats. That's a lot! It never felt uncomfortable or over-packed. This backpack is really just perfect, and it has a lot of nice surprises. It's definitely authentic and if you're thinking about buying it, I don't think you'll regret it! One complaint I saw in other reviews was the front zipper being difficult to unzip. I'll agree that it's a little tougher to move than the other zippers (mainly because of the fabric flap that covers it), but it actually made me feel a bit more secure. The fact that it takes a little extra effort to move it would actually mean I'd be more likely to notice someone trying to steal from it.

I love Herschel but the bag started ripping on the outside pretty quickly which annoyed me but this is the first cheap quality Herschel product I've owned. If all of these are made like this then I would recommend a different backpack, but hopefully I just got unlucky with this backpack. For the price, that rip should not have happened without rigorous use which is my reasoning for a 4 star. I still use it regardless of the rip and has held up well other than that. Nice that it has a laptop pocket.
